The Shadow

I havent written anything here for a while.

Well actually, i speak and the shadowmaster types, coz my paws are webbed (for thesnow) and typing is just tooooo hard.

I thought i would tell you about my day. They all tend to be about the same- dont forget, i am just a dog.

First thing first, i patiently wait for the shadowmaster (rediculous name) to wake up. I tend not to make a fuss,and are very patient. Sometimes, i know the master is awake, but he doesn’t open his eyes, so i have to wait until, either eyes open, or he speaks to me.

Usually, i have to sneak a peak at the sleeping master (or pretending sleeping master) and have to put my tail (very fat and furry) between my legs and walk away. I usaully wait for about 30 seconds, and return to check on my human.

I know he is able to see through his barely open eyes, and i know he knows that i am looking at him from about half an inch (not a metric husky, but think it is about 13mill) Yes, i dont brush my teeth at all, and i am sure, sometimes, my breath gives me away.

Anyway, once he is awake, and coughs, and spluttters, he is usually standing up pretty quickly. This is my time for a belly rub. I really really like my belly rubbed, and if i am lucky, i can have bellyrub (as i call it, one word) for about 4 minutes.

Whoa, this is sooooo good. Once i have had my fix, i allow master to get dressed. I am just a dog, but i am sure other humans would not like to see this human- without fur or clothes, in all his glory.

Such a routine he has got, standing under water coming out of a silver shiny thing from the roof, and making white liquidy stuff appear all over him.

Once dressed, it’s outside, you know, i have been inside all night, and a dog has to do what a dog has to do. I am not usually allowed off the lead- coz i get excited and forget to come back, and run in front of big trucks and things.

But, i am allowed off when we do this morning thing. he lets me off at the letter box, and we race each other back to the car. I always win, i think it is because my human only had two legs.

We then drive down to this funny place where he gets drinks, and food. He says the food is an unrepeatable word, but i like going down coz i get lots of pats from the other humans there, and sometimes, i get some food.

 Well, this might be boring, so i will leave more of what happens in my day till another time.

 woof, or actually, hoooooooooowwwwwwwl

Rumor is fact, Kevin Rudd will pull out of the election fight, 4 days before the election. Was it a Howard rabbit out of the hat, or a contender realising he was not up to the challenge.

Okay boys and girls, this exhibition thing has dallied waaaaaaay to long.

 I - your mayor, propose to book a stall at the Upper Ferntree Gully Market- cost is $22 all day from 7.30 till about 4 ish. Somebody has to be there all that time- shifts if too long a day.

 This market is situated on the tourist gateway to the mountains, puffing billy and round the back to the Yarra Valley.

On a good day, it gets good crowds.  Minimal outlay, just a matter of finding a way to display our work. Perhaps,if we had a little A frame for each piece, that would work.

 Get in touch, lets talk turkey, and chew the fat- no lets put that another way.  Lets separate the men from the boys- nah, that’s probably sexist, how about, drop me a line at email  hellofromshadow@hotmail.com  and see if we can organise something. Pocket money for christmas would be nice (even though i have no friends)  and lets face it, we all would like to know if our work is good enough to sell.

 Is  your work good enough…  that’s up to your own conscious, however, if the majority opinion of those contributing is of the opionion your work is not good enough, well- i guess majoritiy rules.

Against my better judgement, your mayor is returning to active service.

 There will however, be some new rules. That is to say, there will be no rules….. signs of wickedness hidden by a dark shadow, and a big black cape… he he he hee he

watch out evil overlord, your posisiton may become superfulous- you know, unnecessary nyk nyk nyk.

Office of the Mayor

Dear citizens of nook.

 It has come to the attention of this office, that indeed the natives are restless.

I call on Little Miss - keeper of the giggles to make us all laugh- if she is still nooking that is.

Furthermore, hitherto, and in the fullness of time, and with the benefit of hindsight, having said that, let me say this- you know the routine.

 I  DECLARE FRIDAY 28TH OF SEPTEMBER TO BE SMILEY DAY.

IT IS THE DUTY OF ALL NOOKSTER TO GIVE STRANGERS A SMILE. FOR THE NOOKSTER THAT RECEIVES THE MOST SMILES IN RESPONSE TO STRANGER SMILES (BETTER MAKE THAT UNKNOWN PERSON) THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT PRIZE DONATED BY YOUR MAYOR.
